I've followed prompts to pages which claim to allow you to change your cell/mobile phone. But, when you get to the next page there is nothing when allows you to edit or change the number. It list the old cell number(which I have not used in 5 years)...I'm trying to get the calendar to send appointments to my phone.

The information in this post was accurate and correct in November 2011. It is no longer the correct way to change a phone number.

This is the procedure that should be used after November 2017:

Click on Security

Click on Update your security info

Click on Add security info

Add the new number and remove the old

I just did this to remove an old phone number - in Hotmail - upper right Options - more options.

On left Show Options - Hotmail - under Managing Accounts - Account Details - Account Security -

Security Info - Manage - Delete the phone number and follow the rest of the prompts.

That is what worked for me however if you have any issues then use Hotmail's Support.

Answers is a peer supported group and unfortunately has no real influence on Hotmail.

HotMail has its own Forums so you should ask your questions there.
